DXVK project focused on translating older Direct3D APIs (5, 6, 7) to Vulkan.">D7VK 1.3 was released today, February 9, 2026, introducing support for the Direct3D 5 graphics API on Vulkan. This update expands the project's capabilities, building upon its original target of Direct3D 7 and the experimental Direct3D 6 support added in D7VK 1.1. As a fork of the DXVK project, D7VK allows for the translation of older Direct3D versions to Vulkan. DXVK itself provides Direct3D 8, 9, 10, and 11 support on Vulkan, which is integral to Valve's Steam Play (Proton) for running Windows games on Linux. This latest D7VK release further broadens the compatibility for very old Windows titles on Linux through Vulkan-based translation layers.
